Context

ArtsXchange is a 501(c)(3) community cultural center, not a commercial venue. The I10 row says it's in its 40th anniversary year, founded in the Black Arts Tradition, running studio artists, the Jack Sinclair Gallery, a literary program, a youth program, and a community garden out of 2148 Newnan St in East Point.

A website can list the programs and post the gallery hours. It can't show the center actually doing the work — the artists in the studios, the kids in the youth program, the garden out back, the people who keep a Black Arts Tradition institution open in East Point forty years in. That gap is one honest short piece.

The offer: One free short piece, they pick the story. No strings on the first one, they own the footage.

What I have: A verified org and its public channels — info@artsxchange.org, IG @artsxchangeatl, FB @artsxchangeeastpoint, X @ArtsXchangeATL, phone 404-624-4211. The row names no human, so the email addresses the center/team rather than a fabricated person.

Subject: A free short piece on ArtsXchange

Hi ArtsXchange team —

Forty years in, and a cultural center founded in the Black Arts Tradition is still running studio artists, a gallery, a literary program, and a community garden on Newnan Street in East Point. A website can list that. It can't show the people doing the work, and that's what I keep coming back to.

I'm Brandyn, Ghost Coast Video out of Atlanta. I make short documentary pieces for the community arts stories that don't fit on a page. I'd like to make one for ArtsXchange, free. You pick the story — a studio artist, the Jack Sinclair Gallery, the youth program, the garden, whatever's real and worth showing. You own the footage, no strings on the first one.

Worth a reply?

Hey — Brandyn, Ghost Coast Video. I shoot short documentary pieces for Atlanta's community arts scene.

A cultural center in its 40th year, founded in the Black Arts Tradition, running studio artists, a gallery, and a garden in East Point. That story won't fit on a page. I'd like to make one short piece for ArtsXchange, free. You pick the story, you own the footage.

Before sending

1. No named contact in the I10 row. The message addresses "ArtsXchange team" and does not invent a person's name or title. If Brandyn finds a real staff or board contact (executive director, gallery director, programs lead) before sending, swap the greeting to that name.

2. Facts confined to the I10 row. 501(c)(3) community cultural center, founded in the Black Arts Tradition, 40th anniversary year, studio artists, Jack Sinclair Gallery, literary program, youth program, community garden, East Point / 2148 Newnan St — all from the row. Nothing else is invented. No new emails, handles, names, artists, exhibitions, events, dates, metrics, clients, or testimonials.

3. Channels confirmed in the row. WEB artsxchange.org, EM info@artsxchange.org, IG @artsxchangeatl, FB @artsxchangeeastpoint, X @ArtsXchangeATL, phone 404-624-4211. Email is primary; the IG DM is a labeled alternate — do not triple-send.

4. Tier C register. Friendly/community, no hard sell. The wedge is the free piece, not a pitch.

5. Word counts under cap. Email ~135 words, DM ~65 words.

6. No AI attribution, no AI tells. Reads as one person writing to a cultural center; no corporate scaffolding, no em-dash stacking, no "not just X, it's Y" scaffold.
